To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, WILLIAM HENRY CHAP- MAN, a subject of the King ofGreat Britain, and a resident of Banbury, in the county of Oxford,England, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flower PotStands, (for which I have applied for a patent in Great Britain, No.7,445, dated March 27, 1902,) of which the following is a full, clear,and exact specification.

This invention relates to an improved flower-pot support, and is for useespecially in cases Where the flower-pot is inserted in an art pot orvase, the object being to raise the flower-pot so that the bottomthereof is not immersed or in contact with the water drained therefrom,which remains in thebottom of the art pot or vase. 1

Referring to the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the blankfrom which my invention is formed; Fig. 2, a side elevation of myinvention, Fig. 3 a plan view.

The piece of metal a or other suitable material is out along the lineslgand bent along the dotted lines 0 so as to form the shape shown in Figs.2 and 3. This is inserted at the bottom of the art-pot, the flower potresting thereon and being kept in a raised position by theturned-upcorners d.

If desired, the shape shown in Fig. 3 may be molded in earthenware orthe like material.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, 1s-

A flower pot stand comprising a square base-piece having a centralperforation therein, pieces projecting upwardly from the corners of thepiece, legs or supports formed by a downwardly-projecting piece fromeach side thereof, substantially as described herein and for the purposeset forth.
